I hurried back to my parents' house.
I flew through the night and it was already morning.
I'm exhausted, but more than that, anxiety drives on.
'Laina!'
He kicked the door open with a mighty kick and ran into the front door.
Then he ran into the living room.
''Are you okay?''
My mother and father were eating a leisurely al there.
It was the usual peaceful morning scene.
'Arelle-chan?'
You're back.
But there was no sign of Laina.
"Rah, where's Laina?
Laina...
And that's when Laina cos into the living room with a mix of absent-mindedness.
'Laina! You're safe!
Oh, Arel?
I ran to her side and tried to hug her with all the montum I had, and then I realized sothing.
Laina was holding the baby.
And two of them.
She was still asleep and looking sleepy.
'Um ... where's the baby from?'
Your baby, of course.
What?
I cringed at those words, which were said with a dumbfounded look on my face.
My child...?
You an, and Laina's kid...?
'Of course. You wouldn't be holding soone else's child. Twins, by the way. A boy and a girl.
Upon closer inspection, I saw that they both had the sa red hair as Laina.
The boy looks a lot like when he was little.
The girl looks just like Laina.
It was six months ago that I left town to chase after Mila.
Generally speaking, a child was born about five months after conception.
''Totally, it's an unfit father to even be present at the birth.
Laina was smiling sowhat happily, even though she said it accusingly.
The girl is still out of it, but the boy seems to be waking up and looks at with a strange look on his face.
'This is your father,'
As I tell her that, Laina tries to hand the boy over to .
'Can I hold him?'
'You're a father, of course it's good. But you must be nice to him.
Oh, yeah.
I took the baby with trepidation.
It was so small and light that it looked like it was going to break.
He showed no signs of crying, even though he was suddenly in the arms of a stranger.
Does he understand that I am the father?
Uh-oh.
But all of a sudden, he scowled.
She stretches her arms toward her mother, as if she wants to get away from .
She doesn't seem to like it.
Maybe it's my first ti, so I can't bla her, but I'm a bit shocked.
But then Laina wrinkles her brow as she moves her nose toward .
You stink. You should've given her a bath before you let hold her.
Apparently, the reason the boys didn't like it was because my body slled bad.
I could certainly sll it myself and it slled like sweat.
I handed the twins back to Laina and I decided to take a bath.
'But what the hell was that, what was the rush earlier?'
No, I hope you're okay. I an, yeah. What about Mira?
'I'm sure Mira would still be sleeping in her room.
You're ho, aren't you?
Yeah. Was it the day before yesterday? I was ho before I knew it in the morning.
I patted my chest.
That old lady tricked .
No, I was right up to the information that Mira had gone ho to her parents.
Maybe she thought it would be irkso to just tell .
She's a totally inedible old woman.
When I ca out of the bath, the girl was fully awake.
Laina hugged her and said, "It's your father," but she looked puzzled.
........cute.
Boys are cute too, but girls are even cuter.
It's probably because they look like Laina.
She's been properly bathed and cleaned up, and she shouldn't sll.
I tried to get the girl to let hold her.
'Uhhhh!'
But as soon as it was about to be handed to , the girl started crying loudly.
Clinging to her mother.
'Gah!'
I'm in for a much bigger shock than I was earlier.
I don't even sll weird now.
So it's pure rejection.
In contrast to my depressed state, Laina chuckles.
Don't worry about it so much. This one is a little shy. She'll get used to it. She'll let you hold her. Alright, that's it, don't worry. He's not a scary old man.
Agggh.
Dad ca over from the side and said proudly.
'Haha, Arel is your father and he doesn't like you. Dad will let you hold him properly. Co to Jieji.
With a sickening smile, Dad extends his arm to his grandson.
'Ya!'
It was rejected easily.
''Gah... why... why... you let hold you yesterday...''
Dad crumbles to the ground. 'Oh, dear.
"You're in the wrong place at the wrong ti, Dad. I want my mom now. Huh? And you don't mind your grandmother? Oh dear.
The mother receives her granddaughter with an unusually happy look on her face.
She must be used to dealing with children, having given birth to three children and raised them.
'Bah.'
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's .
The girls seed to miss it completely.
'Speaking of which, what about the boys?'
'I'll be in the garden with Mila. She likes to be outside for so reason.
Mom tells .
I look out the window and see Mila sitting on a bench in the yard, holding a boy in her arms.
And she is patting the boy's head sowhat lovingly.
'At any rate, Mira looks fine too,'
I'm still not sure why I left the house after all, but I'm back safely, so I guess that's good.
After that, we had to decide on the twins' nas.
Apparently, it was decided to wait until after I got back.
Hm, how about Kiki and Lara then?
'I don't know why, but I have a feeling that's an absolute no-no...'
